BOLD insurance swindle hes been dis
covered in connection with the fire which
recently destroyed the business portion
of Ironwood, Mich. The rates in regular
insurance companies were high and so
the Ironwood business men paid ridicu-
lously low premiums to agents of "wild
cat" companies. These agents have been
sending out from New York, Chicago and
other cities circulars Offering to take all
risks refused by other companies at any
rate obtainable. Policies aggregating
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been written in nearly every town and
city Of the Michigan ana Wisconsin iron
and lumber regions. When any loss
comes, as at Ironwood, the agents refer
their turn charge the agents with neg
lecting to return the premiums The
onrecuvered Insurance at Ironwood
amounts to nearly 100000.

influx of laborers there promises TO shake

BEN BUTLER argues that no laws could
be passed by the states affecting rights
are concerned, different from those in
force when the immigrants came into the
country. Suppose state had a system of
capital punishment for murder when a
foreigner settled Within its limits, and
should afterward abolish hanging and
substitute imprisonment for life in CAPT
tai cases, would tho foreigner under treaty
rights have to be hanged if ne should
afterward commit murder? Old Ben is
getting silly.

The western cattle growers, who have
been holding a convention at Cansas City
had the cheek before adjeurning to de-
nand compensation from the govern
ment for the losses of those whom Presi-
dent Cleveland ordered from the Cheyenn
and Arrapahoe Indian lands. In other
words, they wait damages for being pre-
vented from breaking the laws. No doubt
they had the surplus in mind.

EMBEzzLED TWO THOUSAND.
Otto Salomonss Alleged Betrayal
of Trust.

Fred E. Solomon, late SurVeyor-Gen
eral of Utah, on the Both of November
made a complaint in Commissioner
Norrells court, charging Otto E. salo-
mon with embezzlement. He alleges
that on the first of June last, the de-
PENDANT in the capacity of agent for
complainant, took into his possession
certain money of the value of 81 900 and
that he afterwards unlswfully con-
verted the same 10 his own use. The
defendant was arraig ned before the
Commissioner yesterday, and, stating
that he desired 10 waive examination,
his bonds were placed at $l500. TIE
evidence IN the case is said to be to the
effect that young Solomon was en-
trusted by his father with the 1000 re- :
ferred to and sent south to buy herd
of sheep. Instead of purchasing the
wool-produeers, however, it is alleged
that he put the ducsts in his pocket,
and so far has made no accounting of
the money.
1t Is understood that the young man
will make no defense in the case.
He obtained bonds late last evening.

JERRY RICHARDSON'S CASE.
Being Heard by the Commissioner
With Closed Doors.

The Railways in the Wasatch Block
leading in the direction of the Com mis- =
sioner's Court, held quite a large mum
Der of people yesterday morning at 10
o'clock-the hour set for the eIamina-
ton of Jerry Richardson, who had been
arrested on the charge of numbering
the young girl Ella Dreamer. After
some delay, the defendant was brought
before the Commissioner. Varlan ap-
pearing for the prisoner and Clark for
the prosecution.
The defense thought the complaint
was insufficient, that it merely charged
murder and said nothing as to how the
alleged killing was committed.
Mr.. Clark said the prosecution
claimed that the defendant knew the
deceased was in perilOus condition;
that at the time she was in his custody,
AID that he removed her from the
HoHSe when he knew it was unsafe for
b N 10 do so. Under tn Sc ci Gums ances,
ne said, he believed hs would be aole 10
make out at least case OF
voluntary granddaughter. He further
stated that in consequences of the
absence Of one of the material witnesses
for the prosecution he would ask for a
continuance until o'clock. This was
not opposed, aud the Commissioner ad-
jourued court until that hour.
During he interval, Richardson was
allowed to 60, in compang with an
otfic r, and euieavor to secure bail, and
succeeded in capturing G. w. Bennett,
Ed. Egan and John TIernan, who signed
the bond of So, G0l.
On reassembling at 2, however, ali
reporters AID spectators were excluded
from the room, the defendant desiring
that the evidence adduced should not
be laid Dare before the cold, scrutiniz-
ing gaze of an unsympathetic world.
The examination had not been con-
Guided when court adjourned, and will
probably occupy the whole of Monday.

the old reservoirs near the mouth of
the canyon. The capacity is 1,500 900
gallons an hour. The old reservoirs
will be maintained and used whenever
anything in the new works gets out of
order.
The Twenty-frst Ward pipes de-
liver at the Rock Tower $780,
600 gallons of water every twenty
four hours. There is an average pres
sure at Sixth Street of fifty-five pouD DIS,
sufficient for all purposes. These works
will be used exclusively for the Eigh-
tenth, Twentieth and Twenty-6rst
Wards and will not be extended below
South Temple Street.
THE CHIEF SYSTEM,
which is to supply the city south of
South Temple and the western side, is
an excellent one, being all laid down
hill, thus obviating any raising or fore
ing up OF wa er. The fall JUST b low the
tank house is tremendous, being about
eighteen inches in the first twenty feet.

and the supply will be equal to it for a
long time to come. The arrangements
are such that during the irrigating sea-
son the water can be shut off from the
bitches of the streets and much that is
often wasted can be saved and properly
applied.
The impression left upon the reporter
as he returned from his visit was that
the city was we'll fixed" now for water
Tor ell purposes, and that the question
of supply had been settled for several
wears anyhow. 1t is in contemplation,
in the near future, to send men higher
up the canyon to open the numerous
springs which contribut, to the waters
of City Creek, and thus still materially
increase the size of the stream.

THE UTAH"
The Pretty Name of a Pretty Pull
man Sleeper.

The utah" is the name of a new
Pullman sleeper which went out on the
Midland train for Leadyille for the first
time last night. The utah" is an
elegant piece of upholstered and richly
finished workmanship, and has no
equal IN some particulars in Colorado.
The body OF the exterior of the car is of
maroon, with gilt stripping and lettering.
The interior, in: contrast, del cio1sly
light in finish and most beautifully
varied. The drawing-room is finished
in curled maple, polished until mirror
like. Attached to this compartment is
complete toilet room equal to that
| ordinarily only provided for private
cars. The finish of all tbs appoint
ments IS silver-plate, with Tennessee
| marble bowl and stands. The saloon
Is finished il mahogany. The smoking
room Is finished IN antique oak. The
ceiling Of Inc whole Car is sky blue, il
embossed leather. and the sides are
also OF embossed leather, IN bronze and
mahogany. The plush finishings of
the seats is conspicuOusly pretty, being
of light sky blue. 1t does not appear
as if it would be rs servlceable as tue
j andard, but the officials OF the Mid
land say that 1t is equally so. One
feature of the Utah" which is both
in the direction of comfort and
elegance, is tnat every projecting cor
ner is tipped with heavy plush. SO that
possibility of bruises from a sudden
jerk of the car is avoided. In the
matter of night illumination the
Utah" is ahead of most Pullmans, no
less than twenty lamps with silver
white refectors. furnishing an almost
electric brilliancy. 1t is possible to
read the finest print or manuscript in
every portion of the car. 1t has the
new system OF electric bells also, each
section being in communication with
the portar's compartment.
All in all, the Utah" is the brightest
plumaged bird that flies over Colorado
railroads, and from its name the idea
might be obtained that its wings are
built to sosr to Salt Lake City at no
very distant day.-Grand Junction

IN THE INTEREST OF LEAD.
The Movement to Oppose It's Being
Placed on the Free List.

The following correspondence. which
explains itself, will be sent by Secretary
Forhan. of the Chamber of Commerce,
to about thirty boards of trade and
mayors of mining towns in the west
and will no doubt be productive of good
results in benefting the mining inter-
ests of Utah and neig hboring States and
Territories:
SALT LAKE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
SALT LAKE CITY, December 2, 1887.
Dear Sir-At meeting of our board of
directors held last evening, it was re-
solved to call public meeting for Mon
day, the 18th inst, to consid what
measures may be necessary to prevent,
II possible, Congress from placing lead
on the free list
IL Is unnecessary to state that tie
abolition of the existing duties on lead
would paralyze half our western mining
camps and CONVEX. each into bowling
wilderness" Itbehooves US, therefore,
for self protection, to devise some means
whereby We may thwart the efforts of
those who are advocating such a policy.
We will pass resolutions at our meet
Ing, calling upon Congress not to inter
tere With The existing tax and believe
tnat the protection of your interests
renders similar seton necessary on the
part Of your community. We would be
ad TO have you co operate with us, or
we VIII gladly Cooperate with you in
any measure conducive to the desired
end.
Let us unite for self-protectiOn and
present solid front TO the enemy. We
cannot afford to be lethargIc or indiffsr-
ent in this matter. With our adVer-
sarIes 1t IS simply question of emolu-
ment OF an improvement III their condi-
ton; with us It'll question of our very
existence, the prote ton of our tresides
and our homes-and the miners home
is ofttimes but cabin.
Can the National Congress afford to
destroy our industries for the purpose
of increasing the advantages of Others?
To place lead on the free list would
cause US to lose all, and to leave it as it
Is would only deprive the manufacturer
and speculator of extra profits. In
word, take the tax off lead and the vast
majority Of our mines would immedi-
ately shut down. What that imports
should be well understood throughout
the west.
We should be pleased to hear from
your Chamber prior to our meeting,
thar an assurance of your CO operation
and OF united action may inspire our
citizens with courage and confidence,
and lnclte them to active endeaysr.
Yours respectfully,
Nj. J. FoRHAN, Secretary.
